Taking care of individual needs with expert, professional care and an abundance of compassion and kindness. It’s been our practice at the Village Care Center for more than 45 years. Our associates work with individuals and their families to create a customized care plan – maintaining personal interests with the focus of achieving a maximum level of independence. Each day and through the night, our focus is to provide skilled medical care with attention to emotional needs and overall wellbeing.
Long-term care includes two care neighborhoods filled with familiar faces and friends. Family members and loved ones are always welcome and encouraged to visit often.
The Village Rehabilitation Unit team helps you gain strength and maximum mobility as quickly and safely as possible, as you recover from illness, injury or surgery.
If you are a caregiver, there are times when you need a break. The Village Care Center offers respite stays for your loved one – for a few days or a few weeks. This allows you to rest, refresh and take care of you and your life, confident in knowing your loved one is still receiving exceptional care you can trust.

Skilled nursing care is for individuals with medical needs requiring the skill of round-the-clock licensed nurses and therapists. Skilled nursing is appropriate for people recovering from illness, injury, surgery or stroke that need intensive therapy and care to gain optimal well-being and health.
Situations are as varied as individuals. Most often, candidates for long-term care have an ongoing health condition or permanent disability. They may suffer from chronic severe pain or the natural symptoms of advanced age that led to frailty and need for 24-hour medical supervision.
The Village Care Center is Medicare-certified. With a qualifying hospital stay, Medicare typically covers days 1-20 of the stay. A Medicare-set daily coinsurance rate will be assessed for days 21-100. Medicare payment rules are very stringent and vary depending on a number of factors. Your out-of-pocket expense may vary based on any additional insurance coverage that you may have. Visit https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/skilled-nursing-facility-care.html for more details.
